The people who do this really don't know they have too much perfume onas their senses get dulled down by it, recently my daughter tried a perfume,she only said she used one mist and well it make me ill and sneezing for the restof the day...some perfumes are just made tooo and I mean toooo strong...maybe reply by saying, "Wow that's just a lil strong today, maybe try using a little lessperfume tomorrow" and then compliment this persons clothes, might work...as longas you stay nice with it...Hope this helpshugz((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Stari)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))********************************************** * Asthma, Allergies, Osteoarthritis, Spinal Stenosis, Degenative Disc, Fibromyalgia, Gerd, Enlarged Pituitary Gland, Sjogren's and Ocular Migraines

I don't have asthma but strong perfumes affect my allergies. If someone has on a bit too much I say "Wow, that is sure a nice smelling perfume and it's strong too!" People give me an odd look because they don't know if I complimented them or insulted them! LOL But I hope they get the hint :)

I will say that my sense of smell is pretty much gone so I have to depend on others to tell me.Forum Co-moderator - Crohn's Disease:_All comments have the caveat contact your local health care provider.

I was running on the elliptical machine at my gym a couple days ago, when this very nice looking and obviously hygienic woman stepped up on the machine next to me. about a second later I was overcome by her perfume. I don't have asthma, and it did not really harm me, but trying to breathe that heavily scented air while working out became impossible. Being the passive person I am, I simply stopped my workout and moved on down to the bikes to finish my 30 minutes of cardio.

I found it almost as bad as the time a guy jumped up next to me after coming right in from having a smoke. I remember hoping he would cough up a lung and die as I was walking away.

I would also try to educate the person, probably by phone. But some people just don't think even when they should know better.

I was at the pulmonologist's office last year when a woman walked in reeking of cologne. I started to cough as well as the nurse practitioner. (She also has asthma). We both wound up taking a breathing treatment. Here's the kicker, the lady was a rep for a pharmaceutical company. I can't believe she was visiting a pulmonologist's office with such a heavy fragrance on. Maybe she was new.

to thp636, the pulmonologist should've sent her home, it's no excuse to wear so much perfume at or to a doctors office!Geezee....sorta reminds me of a situation, I have cats and try to keep the litter clean and house from smelling, and I walked into a person house that had cats and you could really smell their cat box...So, people can becomeacustomed to smells to the point they really can't tell how bad it might be....
